With mirages averaging 13k each that's 13m down the drains, not including the tishas and tienkangs.
It was much much easier to refine stuffs with tishas and tienkangs few months earlier, just not now. I'll bet you Warren if you did another test like the one you did months before, the results would be much much different now. I'm inclined to think they've nerfed everything that help players to save money.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

And we've already determined that the OP just had horrendously bad luck.
On average, it takes around 20ish mirages to get a single piece of armor to +3 without refining aids. Compare that to the cost of D-orbs and you'll already see a major difference.
The key word here, however, is average. Sometimes, it'll be more expensiveand you'll have bad luck. However, if you refine in bulk, you'll tend to save coin when not using orbs.
tl;dr version: Orbs are easier, aids are cheaper in most cases.0 -
i spent 11m to refine 6 gear parts from +4 to +5 few days ago with mirages and tienkangs
gold was 420k and (expensive) mirages for 13k
for one part i used like 400+ mirages while two other got +5 just after first try
when you look at those numbers you gotta admit that WarrenWolfy is pretty accurate
tho it s always good to refine few partsBUILD EFFICIENCY CALCULATOR: pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1129681

I went through 700 mirages yesterday and couldn't get 2 pieces of grade 12 gear to +3
At once point it went 60 times w/o getting to +1 !! b:cry
Even with 37 tiusha stones best I got was +2 on one and +3 FINALLY on another.
I tried multiple methods and places.
Probably you are doing it wrong. Most of the rumors to which people laugh are true in fact. If you are failing so much you should stop and try later; Try to refine in places where there is few people, when you are alone is the best. If your faction owns lands you must use the officers for refine. Each officer has a bonus for certain refine (like a bonus for +4).
Edit: I would use tienkang for +3 to +50 -

possibly you're right, but how do you know this? how did you go about gathering evidence for or against this proposal, and can we see that evidence?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Heaven's Tear alts: KenLubin, Sou_Hon, JudyCaraco --- level 5x chars.0 -

Lol? I've been able to +6 and +7 from 0 in under 300 mirages with about 20 tienkang / 10 tisha.
But I use the land refinement Officers, though I don't know if it made a difference.. I've been able to +6 fairly easily.BM PvP Guide: pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1320761

was able to +6 a gear yesterday with 300 mirages and exactly 10 of each tienkang and tisha.
Only thing i changed was after +4 i started using tisha. Instead of the pervious tienkang for +4-5.
and the reason i spent so much was cause greed got to me and i tried couple times for a +7[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]lagunal8.deviantart.com

I've never come right out and said exactly what I've done to 100% confirm why they are all false, and so from other people's perspective it's just my word vs. theirs. Since I'm the type of person who wants to see the proof, I wouldn't believe me either.
Basically, anybody who is a computer programmer and knows how to work Google could re-create the steps I took and see for themselves, but to post the information here violates forum rules, since it involves other versions of PW.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
